< Ezekiel 5 >

1 “And you, son of man, take a sharp weapon for yourself, take the barber’s razor for yourself, and you have caused [it] to pass over your head, and over your beard, and you have taken weighing scales for yourself, and apportioned them.
Pea ko koe, “Foha ʻoe tangata, toʻo kiate koe ha hele māsila, toʻo kiate koe ʻae tele ʻae tangata tele kava, pea ke tele ʻaki ia ho ʻulu mo hoʻo halakava: pea ke toki toʻo ʻae meʻa fakatatau ke fakamamafa mo vahevahe ʻae louʻulu.
2 You burn a third part with fire in the midst of the city, at the fullness of the days of the siege; and you have taken the third part, you strike with a weapon around it; and the third part you scatter to the wind, and I draw out a weapon after them.
Te ke tutu ʻaki ʻae afi ʻa hono vahe ʻe taha ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe kolo, ʻoka kakato ʻae ngaahi ʻaho ʻo hono kāpui: pea te ke ʻave hono vahe ʻe taha mo ke taaʻi ia ʻaki ha hele: pea ke lī hono vahe ʻe taha ke vilingia ʻi he matangi; pea te u toho ha heletā mo tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻi mui.
3 And you have taken there a few in number—and have bound them in your skirts;
Pea te ke toʻo foki ha tuʻoni louʻulu siʻi, ʻo nonoʻo ia ʻi he kapa ʻo ho kofu.
4 and you take of them again, and have cast them into the midst of the fire, and have burned them in the fire—out of it comes forth a fire to all the house of Israel.”
Pea toe toʻo ia, ʻo lī ki he loto afi, ke vela ʻi he loto afi; he ko ia ʻe hoko mei ai ʻae afi ki he fale kotoa ʻo ʻIsileli.”
5 Thus said Lord YHWH: “This [is] Jerusalem, I have set her in the midst of the nations, And the lands [are] around her.
ʻOku pehē mai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua; “Ko eni ʻa Selūsalema: kuo u fokotuʻu ia ʻi he lotolotonga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga mo e ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻi ai.
6 And she changes My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, And My statutes more than the lands that [are] around her, For they have kicked against My judgments, And My statutes—they have not walked in them.”
Pea kuo ne liliu mei heʻeku māʻoniʻoni ke angahala lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga, pea mei heʻeku ngaahi fekau, ʻo lahi hake ʻi he ngaahi fonua ʻoku tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia: he kuo nau liʻaki ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, mo ʻeku ngaahi fekau ʻo ʻikai te nau ʻaʻeva ai.
7 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Because of your multiplying above the nations that [are] around you, You have not walked in My statutes, And you have not done My judgments, According to the judgments of the nations that [are] around you, you have not done.”
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, koeʻuhi kuo ke fakaʻaʻau ʻo tokolahi hake ʻi he ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo ʻikai ʻaʻeva ʻi heʻeku ngaahi fekau, pe maʻu ʻeku māʻoniʻoni, pe fai ke hangē ko e māʻoniʻoni ʻae ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe;
8 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, I [am] against you, even I, And I have done judgments in your midst, Before the eyes of the nations.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ai ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, Vakai, ko au, ʻio, ko au, ʻoku tuʻu kiate koe, pea te u fai ʻae tautea kiate koe ʻi he ʻao ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga.
9 And I have done in you that which I have not done, And the like of which I do not do again, Because of all your abominations.
Pea te u fai ʻiate koe ʻaia ʻoku teʻeki te u fai, pe te u toe fai ki mui hano tatau, koeʻuhi ko hoʻo ngaahi fakalielia.
10 Therefore fathers eat sons in your midst, And sons eat their fathers, And I have done judgments in you, And have scattered all your remnant to every wind.
Ko ia ʻe kai ai ʻe he ngaahi tamai ʻa honau ngaahi foha ʻi loto ʻiate koe, pea kai ʻe he ngaahi foha ʻenau ngaahi tamai: pea te u fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe, pea ko e toenga ʻiate koe te u vilingia atu ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē.”
11 Therefore, [as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “Because you have defiled My sanctuary With all your detestable things, And with all your abominations, Therefore I also diminish you, And My eye does not pity, and I do not spare.
Ko ia ʻoku pehē ʻe Sihova ko e ʻOtua, “ʻOku ou moʻui, pea ko e moʻoni ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo fakalielia ʻaki hoku fale tapu ʻa hoʻo ngaahi meʻa fakalielia mo hoʻo ngaahi ngāue ʻuli, ko ia te u fakaʻaʻau ai koe ki mui; pea ʻe ʻikai mamae hoku mata, pea ʻe ʻikai ʻiate au ha manavaʻofa.
12 Your third part dies by pestilence, And are consumed by famine in your midst, And the third part fall by sword around you, And the third part I scatter to every wind, And I draw out a sword after them.
Ko e vahe ʻe taha ʻiate koe ʻe mate ʻi he mahaki fakaʻauha, pea te nau ʻauha hongea ʻi loto ʻiate koe; pea ko ho vahe ʻe taha ʻe tō hifo takatakai ʻiate koe ʻi he heletā: pea ko hono vahe ʻe taha te u vilingia ki he feituʻu matangi kotoa pē, pea te u tuli ʻaki ʻakinautolu ʻae heletā.
13 And My anger has been completed, And I have caused My fury to rest on them, And I have been comforted, And they have known that I, YHWH, have spoken in My zeal, In My completing My fury on them.
‌ʻE pehē ʻae hoko ʻa ʻeku houhau, pea te u tuku ʻa ʻeku houhau ke nofo kiate kinautolu, pea te u fiemālie ai: pea te nau ʻilo ko au ko Sihova kuo lea ʻaki eni ʻi heʻeku fakamoʻomoʻoni, ʻo kau ka fakaʻosi ʻeku tuputāmaki kiate kinautolu.
14 And I give you for a ruin, And for a reproach among nations that [are] around you, Before the eyes of everyone passing by.
Pea te u ngaohi foki koe ke lala pea ko e manukiʻanga ʻoe ngaahi puleʻanga ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻi he ʻao ʻokinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku ʻalu ange ʻiate koe.
15 And it has been a reproach and a reviling, An instruction and an astonishment, To nations that [are] around you, In My doing judgments in you, In anger and fury, and in furious reproofs, I, YHWH, have spoken.
Ko ia ʻe hoko ai ia ko e manukiʻanga mo e taukaeʻanga, pea ko e ako mo e fakaofo ki he ngaahi puleʻanga kotoa pē ʻoku takatakai ʻiate koe, ʻo kau ka fai ʻae fakamalaʻia ʻiate koe ʻi he tuputāmaki mo e houhau mo e valoki kakaha. Ko au ko Sihova kuo u lea ʻaki eni.
16 In My sending the evil arrows of famine among them, That have been for destruction, That I send to destroy you, And I am adding famine on you, And I have broken your staff of bread.
‌ʻO kau ka fakahoko kiate kinautolu ʻae ngahau fakakona ʻoe honge, ʻaia ko e ʻauhaʻanga, ʻaia te u tuku atu ke fakaʻosi ʻakimoutolu: pea te u fakalahi ʻae honge kiate kimoutolu pea te u fesiʻi ʻae tokotoko ʻoe ma:
17 And I have sent famine and evil beasts on you, And they have bereaved you, And pestilence and blood pass over on you, And I bring a sword in against you, I, YHWH, have spoken!”
‌ʻE pehē ʻeku fekau atu kiate kimoutolu ʻae honge mo e fanga manu fekai, pea te nau fakatokosiʻi ʻakimoutolu; pea ʻe ʻalu atu ʻiate koe ʻae mahaki fakaʻauha mo e toto; pea te u fakatō hifo kiate koe ʻae heletā, Ko au ko Sihova ʻoku lea ʻaki eni.”
